I got but just six words for why this building got to this point. 'Rent control, rent control, rent control.' With section 8's tenants paying $88 dollars a mounth for a two bedroom apartment, and Mike the Mayor, still raising your property values during the worst housing depression in history. There's no money to fix major building problems.

My building on Nagle is still boarded up and it's been over six months since our building was on fire. Our building is full of hardworking people, not thugs. Upper Manhattan is not considered to be part of Manhattan by our city. Unless you're rich, Bloomturd doesn't give a rats ass about you.

Hey Anonymous of "$88 dollars a mounth for a two bedroom...".Happy to get you 'rent control' tenants' worked up. Must you go so personal right away to win your argument. The first structural complaint according to NYCDOB was in 1992. The problem with the "rent control" tenants is that they know they can't leave the apartment for fear of losing their 'plum'. My management company has had rent control tenants remaining in their burned out apartments, stepping from floor joist to floor joist so as not to lose their ridiculous low rents, yet stopping any access to make repairs demanded by NYCDOB and HPD. The violations pile up and the building falls down. Hey Anonymous how the house in the Hamptons or was it Boca ? Nice to have money.

SLUMLORD WARNING- be warned the comment before this one was from a sleazy slumlord who is trying to force all the old people out of a building . He got the apartment building at a very low price when he purchased it because of rent control. Now this slumlord just wants to force out old people so he can keep jacking up the rents way past what the DHCR allows. Apartment buildings are simply cash cows. AND the slumlord wants you to think that he is on the side of the law and doesn't lie. Don't believe the hype.

Why purchase a rent-controlled building to manage if all you're going to do is bitch and moan about said renters defending what they are legally entitled to? Anyway, it's far cheaper to properly maintain a building than to neglect it for a decade and then fix it when you have no other choice.

Why your neighborhood is full of Queens Crap

"The difference between dishonest and honest graft: for dishonest graft one worked solely for one's own interests, while for honest graft one pursued the interests of one's party, one's state, and one's personal interests all together." - George Washington Plunkitt
